do you have a proof for this statement?
while I could agree in some aspects, this is definitely not the area where it is true. In my eyes the community is the crowd who is using Nextcloud mainly on their self-hosted platforms (often at home). In this setup user tend to trust the server (admin) - which automatically lowers the demand for e2e encryption. I see this feature rather useful on the enterprise/public hoster side - where users may store sensitive or private information and don’t want admin to have access to this - but this not a real community in my eyes - and most likely they get support they need to run this feature through enterprise support.
Definitely we can see Nextcloud GmbH as the driver of the project tends to put more focus on enterprise functions, but there are lot of I appreciate as private user as well. From last features shipped I really like high-performance back-end for files, I don see a value in dashboard app and I feel this really disappointing such huge bug like broken Webauthn 2nd factor has passed QA (but this counts more as enterprise feature for me).
There are discussions if we need another powerful player with more focus on free usage - but it looks the pain is not enough now as nobody started another organization now and people only complain from time to time. I think if people want more attention on private users they should start spending time on testing, documentation, support and promotion of Nextcloud - more users would give more weight and attract more professionals with useful skills.
